Northern Arizona (338), Cal State Bakersfield (250) and the Aztecs (215) rounded out the top six.
Junior Kimberlee Frith led SDSU once again with a ninth-place showing in the 100 freestyle in a time of 52.22 seconds. The time was a season best for the Orange Coast College transfer and only 0.12 seconds off the school record. Yesterday, Frith won the 200 free in an Aztec record time of 1:51.48.
Freshman Rosalie Raymond took eighth in the 1,650 free (17:47.63), while sophomore Katie Smith (11th place, 2:09.29) and junior Sarah Davis (15th, 2:13.34) set season best times in the 200 backstroke.

The quartet of seniors Samantha Peters and Emily Schmied and juniors Stella Karoly and Frith teamed up for a 14th-place (3:40.15) showing in the 400 free relay.
In diving competition, freshman Megan Flanagan ended up ninth at both the one-meter (186.70) and three-meter (199.35) heights for SDSU.
